Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons doesn’t normally attend the team’s voluntary offseason workouts. So it was a big deal when Parsons — who is seeking a contract extension — decided this was the year to show up during the event.
Parsons explained his presence at offseason workouts Tuesday, praising new Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer in the process, per the team’s website.
“Everyone’s got a different perspective but, talking to Schotty, and [him] telling me how important it is for me to be there, and what he’s trying to prove and show to the team — I just thought it was important. One, for me and my relationship with our new head coach to understand where he’s coming from and help him in any way I can to go on this run. Schotty’s showed up to my event, and Schotty’s been around to try and build relationships. So I feel like we’re at the point where if he asks her for me to come in for the leadership aspect, and to be around the guys, and show face, that’s something I wanna do for my coach.”
“I mean, for me, it’s not really like walking the walk. It’s just me. Like I always said, I’ve wanted to be a Cowboy and being here, I feel like it’s really just being me. I’ve been as real as possible since I’ve been here.”

The Cowboys are in transition after parting ways with head coach Mike McCarthy in the offseason. Schottenheimer, who served as the team’s offensive coordinator the past two seasons, was named the Cowboys’ new head coach in January.
As part of that hiring, the Cowboys replaced multiple coaches on staff, including the team’s defensive coordinator. Mike Zimmer was replaced by former Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus for the 2025 season.
Given all that, Parsons felt it was best that he be present when the team met in the offseason. While he won’t do any on-field work while he waits for a new deal, Parsons can use this time to learn Eberflus’ new defense.

A new contract is probably on the way. Though nothing has been signed yet, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones implied both sides made progress in the offseason.
It sounds like there’s still work do on that end, but Parsons showing up to voluntary workouts for the first time is probably a good sign that he sees himself staying in Dallas for the foreseeable future.

Anthony Edwards and the complicated pathway to becoming the face of the NBA
MINNEAPOLIS — At some point, if this keeps up, Anthony Edwards is not going to have choice when it comes to the existential question confronting the NBA.Edwards can say all he wants about not wanting to be the face of the league when LeBron James, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant finally decide to move on. He says he wants nothing to do with the obligations, the scrutiny, the tiresome hot takery that comes with such a distinction. He says he just wants to hoop and go home to play video games and hang out with his family and friends. That exalted plateau might be the only thing he has run from in his life.AdvertisementHis mouth says one thing. His game says another.The fire in Edwards’ eyes as he stared down LeBron and Luka Dončić in the fourth quarter of Minnesota’s […]
Gyokeres marca quatro gols e ultrapassa Salah na corrida pela Chuteira de Ouro; veja ranking
O duelo entre os artilheiros das principais competições europeias pela Chuteira de Ouro segue a todo vapor. E agora com um novo líder. O sueco Viktor Gyokeres marcou quatro gols na vitória do Sporting por 5 a 0, pelo Campeonato Português, e ultrapassou o egípcio Mohamed Salah na corrida pela premiação. Gyokeres chegou aos 57 pontos depois de anotar 38 gols no Campeonato Português, que tem peso 1,5 na disputa do troféu. Mohamed Salah, por sua vez, balançou as redes 10 vezes a menos que o atacante sueco, mas soma 56 pontos, já que a Premier League tem peso 2 na corrida pela Chuteira de Ouro. Em terceiro lugar está o atacante Robert Lewandowski, do Barcelona, com 25 gols marcados e 50 pontos na disputa. Com 24 para cada, Harry Kane (Bayern de Munique) e Mateo Retegui (Atalanta) fecham o […]

How to watch the St. Louis Cardinals in 2025: Schedule, broadcast info, blackout rules and national games
A hazy springtime sun beams off the arch, and sweet whiffs of barbecue carry throughout the city. It’s Redbirds season. You can find us in St. Louis, rollin’ on dubs.No National League club has more championships than the St. Louis Cardinals, who last unfurled a world title in 2011, but the franchise hasn’t made it past the postseason’s wild-card round in five years. Something’s got to give, even if it’s all relative for one of baseball’s winningest brands. At least the Cards have a core of developing batters (Brendan Donovan, Masyn Winn, Lars Nootbar, Jordan Walker and Victor Scott II are all age 27 or younger).AdvertisementAnd no matter what, Cardinals baseball itself carries such dense history: the glory of Stan Musial, the evergreen Jack Buck, a backflipping Ozzie Smith and a raucous Big Mac Land.

Sudí tlačí McDavida. Kontroverzní rozhodnutí vyvolalo vztek fanoušků
Tyhle nářky přitom mohli hráči LA ponechat zcela bez povšimnutí, kdyby dotáhli do vítězného konce skvěle rozehraný zápas č. 4. V poslední minutě měli za stavu 3:2 při domácí power play dokonce puk na hokejce. Quinton Byfield ovšem nechtěl vyhazovat, ale vyvést kotouč. Jenže o něj přišel, domácí udrželi pásmo a 29 sekund před vypršením šedesáté minuty svým druhým gólem srovnal Evan Bouchard.„Snažil se vyrazit dopředu, jejich hráč na puk ale prostě nějak dosáhl. To se stává. Je to součást hry, a my jsme mu řekli, ať si z toho nic nedělá,“ nezazlíval klíčovou ztrátu spoluhráči útočník Warren Foegele. „Quinton se tím trápit nebude. Rychle to ze sebe setřese,“ myslí si kouč LA Jim Hiller.Kings v úvodních dvou zápasech měli hru ve své moci a loňští finalisté v čele s McDavidem vypadali na odpis. Ve třetím utkání ale Oilers ovládli přestřelku v poměru 7:4 a v noci na pondělí při nich stálo i štěstí. A podle příznivců […]
